I greatly appreciate you showing how to fix problems that can arise when forming concrete! It really builds confidence within your viewers...

i love these kinds of shows. I think a man that does this kinds of stuff is a happier man.

Great idea and good looking result.
Here is a suggestion when working with concrete. Whilst it's a great material in compression, it sucks when in tension. As you found out when the side pulled off. Adding some mesh into the void, before adding the concrete, will hold it all together.

Use something like galvanised chicken wire. Form three square C shapes. One long one that takes it's shape from the base and two short ends. Then two the same shape that take their shape from a short end and half of each of the long sides.
Connect the 3 parts together to make a basket. The wire mesh basket should sit in the middle of the void between the two forms. To use it, put a half inch of your mix into the base. Sit the basket in place and add another half inch of mix. Then add your inner form and continue as you did in the video.

The mesh basket maybe a bit overkill, but it's the easiest way to add reinforcement.

Keep up the good work.

This is so gnarly. Glad to see a guy on Youtube owning a mistake. Finally, a project video I can relate to lol

I went with a trough instead of cans, that way I can just pour clear biofuel in, its cheaper, doesn't produce residue & is less maintenance while producing exactly the same type of flame.

If you line the inside of the outer box and the outside of the inner box with wax paper the sides will easily come apart and it will give you a flawlessly smooth finish. Providing you take the time to pull out all the wrinkles in the wax paper.

You are one patient craftsman! I love how you didn't give up on your project, and it still looked great.

I love finding cheap ways to make cool things that would otherwise cost me hundreds of dollars. This is a great idea!

I have the utmost respect for folks making their own stuffs. And this fire pit looks so awesome. Well done!

[bobsanders]

Don't ever let anyone tell you you don't know what you're doing. Beautiful!!!

I like the fact that he shows his errors. Not a lot of youtubers show their mistakes. Real organic and pure video

[sotesz]

Those black, shiny pebbles look damn good with the flames.

[nancyhowe]

Love that you show how you fix your mistakes, that makes the videos super educational for both newbies and seasoned DIYer's. And oh yeah, I want your workshop!

[lancewalden]

Man you do a good job. Like the way you handle it all. PERFECT

[thTimeLord]

I appreciate it when people show their failures and the problems that occur. Good for my confidence and anxiety.

[chefdanibee]

Finally my brothers out here showing skills other than throwing a ball Black excellence...I LOVE IT

[pete]

Good job. I especially liked how you showed the errors and commented on the frustration. Too many people think projects are mistake proof. You showed your mistakes but more importantly you demonstrated how to overcome!!!! Thanks

[davideo]

Thanks for showing your mistakes. That’s how we learn! So many DIY ers act like they don’t ever do anything wrong. That’s not the world I live in. 🙋🏻‍♂️

[kckrox]

I love how you show your mistakes and explain how you fix them.

[sonny]

I enjoy your videos very much. I like how you show your mistakes.
